2018 Central Ohio Roe Remembrance

Monday, January 22, 2018

Ohio Statehouse​Atrium12:00 noon - 1:00 pm

Note: The Roe Remembrance Event at the Ohio Statehouse traditionally follows the 10:30 am Respect Life Mass celebrated by Bishop Frederick Campbell of the Diocese of Columbus at St. Joseph's Cathedral. Because many participants process from the Cathedral, if Mass runs a few minutes late, we may hold the start of the Remembrance event in order to accommodate the procession.​​

Join Greater Columbus Right to Life for the annual Roe Remembrance event at the Ohio Statehouse. The event will be held in the Atrium, so a reminder that stickers, signs, and weapons are not permitted. Allow a little extra time, as Statehouse security measures have increased in the past few years. ​

​

Why We Remember

Each year, the prolife faithful of America pause to reflect and remember the US Supreme Court's sweeping decision that legalized abortion on demand in all fifty states, Roe V Wade, on its anniversary.

While hundreds of thousands (or as the mainstream media describes it "a few") will descend upon Washington DC, we provide a local option for those who cannot travel to DC to join us to Remember Roe, or - in the case of those who will be traveling to DC later in the week, those who want to participate with our local group. We hope that you can join us.

Looking for Directions?

The Ohio Statehouse is located at 1 Capitol Square; Columbus, OH 43215. Parking is available under the Statehouse Parking garage, in meters, and on surface lots and is generally available on Fridays around the time of our event. The Statehouse is a short walk from the Cathedral for those making the walk from the Respect Life Mass. Other parking options can be found online.

Join Us for 2018 March for Life in Washington, DC

Save the date, and make plans now to join the HolyFamily Parish as we travel to Washington, DC for the 2018 March for Life. We will depart late evening on Thursday, January 18th, than return late on Friday, January 19th, so it’s just one day out of school or work for this loving sacrifice and amazing adventure.

The cost for this trip for each person is $ 25.00. The trek is for people of all ages, and families are welcome. If you cannot attend the March, please pray for the protection of unborn lives and for all the people attending the March that they may be given the grace to touch the lives of those around them.
